This series of handouts and images asks young scientists to read short informational paragraphs, answer identification questions, and color and label diagrams of animal and plant cells. This is a complete resource that could be given as...

Students review the parts of the plant and recognize the parts that are important for pollination.  In this pollination lesson, students illustrate and label the parts of a flower.  Students compare different types of flowers.

Students identify parts of a cell. In this biology instructional activity, students create a simulated cell by using Jell-o, fruit roll ups, raisins, gum drops, and M&M's. Students construct the simulated cell and identify each part.

Each of these slides deals with an individual organelle and displays a diagram along with labels of the structures. The most useful components of this slideshow are the summaries of functions and descriptions of how the organelles are...

In this plant worksheet, pupils define each part of the plant cell. They color and label the cell drawing and then compare and contrast plant and animal cells.

Learn about plants and pollination with a worksheet about the parts of a flower. After labeling the anatomy of a flower using a word bank, kids explain the difference between self-pollination and cross-pollination, and unscramble...

In this building your own cell worksheet, students identify cell vocabulary and facts, and create posters of a labeled plant cell and an animal cell. In this fill-n-the-blank and posters worksheet, students provide twenty-three answers.

Reinforce the neural connections in the brains of your young biologists with a simple anatomy worksheet. Looking at the provided diagram of a neuron, students are asked to correctly identify and describe the function of...

In this biology worksheet, scholars color and label the chemiosmosis process and complete four short answer questions on ATP synthesis.

Get up close and personal with human cells with this lab worksheet. Learners use a microscope to examine their own cheek cells, drawing diagrams of the cells and identifying the parts when they have focused in on a visible specimen....

In this plant cell activity worksheet, students examine the diagram of a plant cell and label the 7 parts that are identified.

Energize the cells of young biologists with an edible life science activity. Engaging students in exploring the inner workings of plant and animal cells, this activity involves using colored jello and various sweet and...

View attractive, three-dimensional models of an animal cell, a bacterium, or a plant cell. Suspended in a translucent, undulating cytoplasm, are all of the major organelles for life science learners to examine. They can zoom in, click on...

High schoolers visualize plant and animal cells, explain the parts of a cell and their functions and distinguish plant cells from animal cells. Working Students, in groups, must present a particular portion of a cell to the entire class.

If you're finishing up a unit on cells, here's a great project to get kids collaborating and recalling what they've learned in a fun and tangible way. Small groups create plant or animal cells out of materials they have at home. They use...

In this cell analogy worksheet, students are given a story with underlined words about the production of widgets in a city. The students determine what the underlined words would represent in the analogy of the cell to the city producing...

This plant biology PowerPoint introduces plant parts and their functions. This PowerPoint allows students to identify each plant part on a diagram, along with its' function. The slides contain a clear explanation of how each plant part...

Life science laureates choose a plant or animal cell to construct a model of as an at-home project. This handout provides guidelines, suggested materials, and a grading rubric for their reference. A full-page letter to parents is also...

Students investigate the properties of cell membranes by isolating the membrane surrounding chicken eggs. They set up an experiment by placing eggs in a vinegar solution for three days. A powerpoint lecture emphasizes the structure of...

Eighth graders, after creating a Venn Diagram comparing/contrasting animal and plant cells, writing ten similes describing cell types, or drawing a colored diagram of a cell, list cell types as well as describe and label cell parts. They...

Students investigate the components of a cell membrane. In this cell membrane lesson plan, students build a cell membrane model using toothpicks and candy to represent the parts of the membrane including the phospholipid bilayer and the...

In this cell analogy worksheet, learners are given a story about a city that produced widgets. They compare this to a cell and identify the parts of the cell that are analogous to the parts of the city. They then create their own cell...

What an eccentric way to learn about each level of cellular organization! Allow emerging biologists to utilize white paper and create their own foldable charts to describe each level of organization in the body. You may also adapt the...

In this biology worksheet, students answer 2 short answer questions related to HIV based on information provided. They color and label the different parts of a virus.
